What it is
This is a carton of semi-skimmed milk, a dairy beverage produced from cows. It has undergone a process to reduce its fat content compared to whole milk, making it a lighter option. The milk is pasteurized for safety and convenience, ensuring it is ready for consumption straight from the packaging. It is a common staple found in refrigerators across many households.
